Sorry for the delay!

Chapter III


Two weeks later found the Norse god of chaos and trickery standing on a ladder the moment Mayura walked into the room.

"What's wrong, Loki-kun?" she asked, seeing his preoccupied expression.

"I can't find a book," he said simply.

Mayura sat down on the sofa and glanced at the table. On it rested several press clippings, all of different sizes, but all with something in common: they were about unresolved, undetermined cases of murder followed by a gory disembowelment or dismembering. She picked up some and read them quickly.

"Ewww," she exclaimed, as some of the clippings sported pictures. "Loki-kun, someone your age shouldn't..."

"Mayura," Loki interrupted, "All those murders were caused by the same murderer. The pattern is the same."

She turned round to look at him. "Are you going to follow a serial murderer?" she frowned. "Loki-kun, that's not a mystery... it's dangerous, perhaps it should be best to leave it to the police."

"Mayura," Loki said again, "It's nothing the police can stop."

"hu...?"

"The police wouldn't be able to stop the chupacabras, don't you think?"


There! Sorry for the shortness. If I get some good reviews, I'll update- the next chapter is already done! n.n
